Exodus 33:18-23

Living Bible

¹⁸ Then Moses asked to see God’s glory.

¹⁹ The Lord replied, “I will make my goodness pass before you, and I will announce to you the meaning of my name^[a] Jehovah, the Lord. I show kindness and mercy to anyone I want to. ²⁰ But you may not see the glory of my face, for man may not see me and live. ²¹ However, stand here on this rock beside me. ²² And when my glory goes by, I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed. ²³ Then I will remove my hand, and you shall see my back but not my face.”
